Dioscorea bulbifera L. [...] Les tubercules aériens sont soit polygonaux, parfois lobés (formes africaines), soit arrondis et semblables à des pommes de terre (formes asiatiques), très compacts, et de très bonne conservation.

OBS

Ces bulbilles sont comestibles, mais il convient cependant, avant de les consommer, de les râper ou de les couper [...] et de les soumettre à un lavage afin de débarrasser la chair des principes amers qu’elle contient; on obtient ainsi un aliment médiocre, donné plus volontiers en nourriture aux porcs.
